In this episode of Following the Messiah (Remastered in 4K), we walk the final steps of Jesus’ journey—from His anguished prayers beneath the olive trees, to His arrest under torchlight, through the illegal trials before Annas, Caiaphas, Herod, and Pilate, and finally to the place where He was led outside the city to be crucified.

Filmed on location in Jerusalem, this episode brings together biblical texts, historical evidence, and archaeological discoveries to help you visualize the night Jesus chose submission over escape.

You’ll see:
• The Garden of Gethsemane and its connection to crushing pressure
• How Jesus could have seen His arrest coming—and why He stayed
• The role of Annas and Caiaphas in the plot to kill Jesus
• Where Peter denied Christ and where Jesus may have been held overnight
• Why Herod’s Palace is the most likely site of Jesus’ trial before Pilate
• Archaeological evidence confirming the Bible’s account of the crucifixion

This is not just history, it’s the story of deliberate sacrifice, unwavering obedience, and love carried all the way to the cross.
